To create a new note, press alt+n.
To save all notes, press
alt+s.As of revision 1.11, saving happens automatically.

This is very, very early. There are lots of usability problems (knowing what
pages have notes, remembering to save), collaboration problems (overwriting
notes, keeping track of changes), and scale problems (hits my server for
every page you load). But you know what they say: release early, release
often.

This took an hour or so over the past few nights to complete. About an hour
getting the webnote code running in Greasemonkey, an hour copying/modifying
the existing webnote backend, then a couple hours adding saving/loading with
the new backend. Ah, the magic of closures.

Note about privacy: The script sends a request to a central
server that checks for notes on that page. That is, I can see all pages you
visit, although they’re just associated with an IP address. If you want to
avoid doing that for certain sites, add it to the greasemonkey exclude list.
TODO: use a hash of the url and try to remove/spoof the referer header.Fixed, please upgrade.

Got your webnote user script from the GM mailinglist, but couldn’t get it to work. Ctrl-Alt-n doesn’t do anything here :( I haven’t gone into the script to analyze what is going on yet. Any ideas? Note: I don’t have any errors in the javascript console..

OK, I did some testing with dump, and it seems that the keydown event is never getting the combination of ctrl+alt+n. I seem to be getting a separate event per key (including ctrl and alt), but when I hit N, the other flags are false.

Wow, you’re right, ctrl+alt doesn’t work in Windows. I’ve updated the script to only require alt+n or alt+s. I’ll probably change this to not require any key presses to save and add a menu item for new notes.

I’ve go Firefox 1.0.3, GM 0.2.6, Win XP. I installed your script and nothing seems to happen when I try alt+n. Do I need to alter your script in some way to open the workspace I created on the webnote page?

Hello sir, Is it possible to add webnote owner login ? So that if i use webnote just like a guestbook, to let other post note and i edit to reply them. No one can act as the webnote owner to reply. Thanks

Tony - I’ve not had much luck getting the script (on Update #3) to save new or modified notes, it just tells me I need to update the script. I downloaded it and modified the Version # but that didn’t seem to help either. I’m running GM 0.2.6 + XP + FF 1.0.3 Suggestions? I’ve been using you standard webnote for some time and I think this new function would be awesome to incorporate into my urls. Thanks again for your awesome work.

Thanks to Lorenzo’s experience and feedback, I was able to get webnote_gm.js working. Had to install the Latest Beta release 0.3 of GM. With the Stable Release 0.2.6, webnote_gm would not save notes - the file-save animated icon would spin for a while, then a JavaScript Application Error window would pop up, telling me to upgrade the webnote_gm SCRIPT to the latest version!

Actually, you can change the color of the note by editing the script itself. I won’t get into the details of how to edit scripts, but if you figure that out, then just do a text-search in the script for “note.bgcolor.” You’ll find it eventually.

Hi, I don’t know if this is the right place to ask this if not you can move it, (please after I reply) is it possible for you to make a note that has some examples of syntax in it for noobies like myself that would give a brief overview of things like how to lock a note or create a locked note, change text size and color, add a table and a few other things into a note? I’m not particular if the note page is for the grease monkey end of it, but mainle for thewebnotes part itself. Maybe on the components page you could post a note on how to do things like this if it’s even possible.

Questions like this should be sent to the mailing group or directly to me.

There are no locked notes. With the greasemonkey script, you only get a subset of HTML (so people don’t hijack cookies). On the regular webnote site, you can use any HTML including tables. I’ve added an example to the components page.
